New East Lothian Policing Plan Public Consultation

The new East Lothian policing plan starting April 2020 (3 year plan) is in the process of being developed. Chief Inspector Neil Mitchell, Local Area Commander will be engaging with as many people who live and work in East Lothian as he can, but is looking for assistance with this.

Please complete the short survey from the link below and share this link as widely as you  so it can reach as many people as possible.

This is just the start of the process with much more engagement to be done over the coming weeks.

Paper forms will be available at Police Stations.

Sign up for Automated ‘Alert’ Communications

East Lothian Council intends to use an alert system to pass on information regarding forthcoming risks, emergencies and/or information connected to, a recovery from any major disruption.

The automated ‘alert’ communication system allows immediate, specific, targeted and urgent messages to be sent to the public, who have self-registered, highlighting ongoing crime, missing persons and risks.

This is an excellent use of technology and ELCC encourages you to sign up to Neighbourhood Alert to allow additional information sharing. Once signed up, it is easy to cancel, if you are dissatisfied with the process.

To gain access please visit the Neighbourhood Watch Scotland website, https://neighbourhoodwatchscotland.co.uk

There is no requirement to join or set up a neighbourhood watch – simply follow the registration instructions. By signing up you control your personal information, contact details and also decide what information providers you want to receive alerts from.
